The IV KCP Music Festival Goes Virtual

This year’s virtual edition of the KCP Music Festival has a very special meaning! Our Rock Band members are working hard to raise funds to contribute to the +Becas Program from Universidad del Norte. Wanting to support other fellow musicians, they are destining the funds raised to aid students from the university’s Music Program. Our Tigers have chosen to help finance access to technology for those students now coursing their music programs virtually! They have decided to name this the:

“BECA KCP PARA MÚSICOS UNINORTE – Un instrumento de conectividad para el arte”

Remember to catch the transmission of this cool event this Friday May 28^th at 5 p.m., where 6 talented bands will be performing some major hits! This year’s event will focus on the importance of music in KCP’s Colombo-American culture.

Adopt a Senior 2021 – 2nd Edition

Last year, because of the pandemic, faculty members from across the entire school were invited to ‘adopt’ a member of the senior class. The purpose of the ‘adoption’ was to provide personalized and meaningful messages to the seniors, so that they could better navigate the final stretch of their senior year. (In the past, this process of transitioning out of KCP would happen more naturally during the regular school day and planned events.)

The feedback from faculty and students was overwhelmingly positive, showing that this is an event that bears the consideration of becoming a tradition!

As our seniors begin the process of “spreading their wings”, we are once again allowing them the opportunity to connect more meaningfully with at least one teacher/staff member, who will provide them with messages of hope, resilience, and gratitude.

Go KCP Tigers!

6th Grade Geometry Projects

Packaging Design

Below you will find a selection of the best projects from 6th-grade math. The slides are divided into sections that show the name of the student, a picture of the final project, and then pictures of the process. It is interesting to see the evolution of the idea, from a rough draft, through a mathematical blueprint, and then the construction of the final model. We are really proud of them! We hope you enjoy the projects.

Affective Class con Nuestros Tigers de Preescolar

Affective Class con Ms. Osorio y Mrs. Rey brinda un espacio socio-emocional para nuestros estudiantes, donde expresan sus sentimientos e ideas. Mediante cuentos y videos educativos,  plasmamos mensajes positivos, identificamos las emociones y cómo controlarlas. También vamos reforzando el tema de los valores de Character Counts!, entre otros temas que ayuden al crecimiento y desarrollo de los niños.

Se han llevado a cabo FUN FRIDAYS. En esta ocasión, los estudiantes trajeron a clase sus juguetes favoritos para compartir con sus compañeros y ellos mismos contaron por qué son especiales; fue un espacio para conocer más acerca de sus gustos y afinidades.

Para celebrar el valor del mes de abril (la CONFIABILIDAD), hablamos de lo importante que es la auto-confianza para alcanzar nuestras metas, y en lo importante que es creer en nosotros mismos. También discutimos lo importante que es este valor  dentro de nuestra comunidad; el ser honestos y tomar buenas decisiones siempre será la mejor opción para llenar nuestro interior de mucha tranquilidad.

KCP Podcasts from 5A Students

KCP Podcast ALERT!!!!! Our 5A tigers are creating podcasts explaining their own interpretations of a set of photos.  They also needed to include alliteration and hyperbole examples in their story or description as part of the assignment. This exercise also evaluated their speaking abilities and if they were communicating clearly.  Listen to a few examples from their very first try! Go Tigers!

KCP’s Tech Devices Drive

One of the biggest challenges for low income families during this past year has been the continuation of their children’s studies from home due to the lack of technology.

Starting Monday, March 15 to Friday, until May 14, 2021, 7th and 10-grade students will be leading a TECH DEVICES DRIVE. You can help by donating your broken and unneeded tech devices such as cellphones, computers, monitors, keyboards, Ipads, tablets, and more.

These devices will be fixed and refurbished by our foundations and then given to those in need. 

You can deliver your devices to the Community Service Coordinator at the Brown House. 

Let’s support this cause! 

Because inclusive technology is the bridge that allows access to growth and development.

If you wish to donate a device or need more information, please contact:
